Two Coaches and an Official Share Annual ACS Champion Award




A real estate investment professional and business development consultant, Andrew Mittower has successfully taken a dozen companies public through his work with Pro Se Litigants in West Chester, Ohio. Andrew Mittower leverages his professional success to support nonprofit organizations such as the American Cancer Society (ACS).

For the first time ever, the ACS Coaches vs. Cancer program has honored three individuals with its prestigious Champion Award. Coaches Pat Chambers of Penn State University and Gary Browne of Hickory Christian Academy share the award with Lou Levine, a youth basketball official. 

Levine, who is the first official to earn the honor, has raised more than $500,000 for the ACS, $100,000 of which was through basketball game fees he has collected since 2014. 

Chambers, meanwhile, has helped raise more than $1.3 million for ACS through Coaches vs. Cancer since 2011. His fundraising efforts include organizing an annual golf tournament, a charity walk/run, a 3-Point Challenge, and Suits and Sneakers Week. 

Browne is a leader with the Coaches vs. Cancer Youth Council and has raised more than $200,000 for the ACS. He has also recruited several other high school coaches to contribute to the cause. 

The Champion Award was initiated in 1996 by Coaches vs. Cancer, an ACS and National Association of Basketball Coaches partnership, to recognize extraordinary fundraising and leadership efforts in the fight against cancer.
